Judge tosses anti-paparazzi counts in Bieber case

Nov 14, 2012

OUTCOME: Charges Dismissed

A judge dealt a blow Wednesday to a California law meant to crack down on reckless driving by paparazzi by saying the statute is overly broad and should not be used against the first photographer charg ... ed under its provisions. Superior Court Judge Thomas Rubinson dismissed counts filed under the law against Paul Raef, who was charged in July with being involved in a high-speed pursuit of Justin Bieber.
